Good morning,
While I want to be optimistic about what the new expansions will be bring to Anaheim, I am concerned on how it is
going to be executed by the Walt Disney Company.
There are many people, who are longtime Disney fans like myself, for nearly the past 20 years watch and think if Walt
Disney were still alive would he approve on the direction Bob Iger and the rest of corporate are taking this company that
was known for its top-notch innovative creativity by throwing in cheap, unoriginal, and anti-consumer tactics/ideas at
every corner?
Because unfortunately I cannot stop to notice these dreadful practices happening, especially after the pandemic, the
magic is disappearing more and more because it looking like corporate is limiting what the Imagineers are allowed to do
and what not. The international theme park resorts almost play by their own roles and it shows the lack of care and
quality the American counterparts have when it comes with new ideas and benefits taken away from consumers.
My hope is that creative aspects of this company remain priority, but that just seems more difficult to believe as we
watch what this company is failing in doing: bringing new ideas that Walt Disney would create: cancelled ideas like
Discovery Bay/Dumbo’s Circus Land/WestCOT, existing ideas like Discoveryland in Paris and Tokyo DisneySea, and
unexplored ideas like a Villains theme expansion, not recycling cheap existing ideas from other parks and constantly
making IP lands that will become dated and not timeless, since Universal first introduced the Wizarding World which
continues to stay popular as Galaxy’s Edge and Avengers Campus are already becoming stale by making Galaxy’s Edge
locked in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy instead of Tatooine/Endor and making DCA’s Web Slingers a glorified shooting
gallery which is in 3-D and missing other attraction with BlueSky ideas that probably won’t happen just like how Mr. Josh
D’Amaro has been doing recent years at D23.
Thank you for taking the time read this email as there is plenty of work to do. Please encourage Disney to bring back the
magic what people once loved that started to become absent since the beginning stages of Bob Iger’s CEO position.
Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to
grow as long as there is imagination left in the world. It is
something that will never be finished. Something that I can
keep developing and adding to.” - Walt Disney
If we can dream it, we can do it.
